Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.
After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Today the Australian Memorial Council for the Glorification of War denying Chris Master a book prize because it's a critique of their war criminal poster and Royal Melbourne Children's Hospital cancels a panel discussion on the effects of war on children to please a Netanyahu buddy. Cowardice.

Turns out Shin Era Tensei runs on Eramaker, a Japanese engine for text-based RPGs/raising sims first released in 2005 and used for several other SLG (simulation game) eroges - like Touhou & Kanon fangames

I think it needs to be pointed out as well that Visa is clearly losing money off these calls clogging their systems and still thought it was worth the money to re-train their employees/contractors. They're not scared enough to drop the issue altogether, people need to keep calling and snail-mailing.
Visa is now actively shutting down calls regarding their censorship and prohibition of the sale of legal product.
They clearly retrained their staff on how to deal with our calls. That doesn't happen unless there's critical mass.
KEEP IT UP. They are trying to turf the calls as fast as they can.

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning

But it's also worse than that. This is a US food crisis in the making.
